At this time the smallest trianions observed in the gas phase are fluorinated fullerenes and large organic ring systems with attached sulfonic acid groups. Considerably smaller trianions have been… (More)
In the past a variety of electron binding motifs has been identified for sodium chloride cluster anions. As for all of these clusters the excess electron is predicted to be bound in… (More)
A high-yielding stereospecific route to the synthesis of single geometric isomers of diaryl oxime ethers through Suzuki coupling of N-alkoxyimidoyl iodides is described. This reaction occurs with… (More)
A thiophosphoramide-based co-catalyst was found to significantly accelerate copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate-catalyzed arylation of potassium carboxylates with diaryliodonium salts. This effect… (More)
A concise and scalable enantioselective total synthesis of the natural cardenolides cannogenol and cannogenol-3-O-α-l-rhamnoside has been achieved in 18 linear steps. The synthesis features a… (More)
The real mechanism of the Skraup-Doebner-Von Miller quinoline synthesis remains controversial and not well understood despite several mechanistic studies reported on the matter. A series of… (More)
A new scalable enantioselective approach to functionalized oxygenated steroids is described. This strategy is based on chiral bis(oxazoline) copper(II) complex-catalyzed enantioselective and… (More)
